A million hours of being injury-free

A Sudburymining supply and services company, B&D Manufacturing, celebrated one million hours of no lost time injuries this week.

“This is a great accomplishment for our organization,” said Andre Ruest, general manager of the 125-employee company, who said accomplishment amounted to nearly five years without any time lost due to injuries.

The company was founded in 1980 with the invention of the portable align boring machine. It differed from previous line boring machines in that it could be maintained on site, which saved customers on downtime costs.
